Cut Once.
Weld Faster.
Build Better.
Our tube laser brings high-speed, high-precision cutting to tube, pipe and structural steel — turning raw lengths into weld-ready, fully-featured parts with holes, copes, slots and tab-and-slot joints already in place.
A Better Way to
Cut Steel.
Traditional cutting means a saw, a drill press, a grinder and a lot of hand layout — and every step is a chance for parts to drift out of tolerance. A tube laser does it all in one programmed operation, straight from your CAD model.
The result: parts that fit the first time, assemblies that self-jig, and far less time on the bench prepping and grinding before a weld is ever struck.
Tighter tolerances
Laser-accurate cuts mean parts fit the first time — less grinding, less rework on the bench.
Weld-ready features
Holes, slots, copes and weld-prep bevels cut in one operation, so assembly drops together.
Faster turnaround
Programmable, repeatable cutting runs production volumes without re-fixturing every part.
Less material waste
Optimized nesting along each length squeezes more parts from every stick of steel.
Tab-and-slot assembly
Self-jigging joints speed up fit-up and improve weld consistency on complex frames.
Design freedom
Engraving, complex profiles and intricate features that plasma and saws can't touch.

Common Questions.
What is tube laser cutting? +
Tube laser cutting uses a high-precision laser to cut tube, pipe and structural steel to length while adding holes, slots, copes, weld bevels and tab-and-slot joints in a single programmed operation — turning raw lengths into weld-ready parts straight from a CAD model.
Where can I get tube laser cutting near me in Alberta? +
Comet Welding runs an in-house tube laser at 5604 Len Thompson Drive, Lacombe, AB, serving customers across Central Alberta. Call 403-782-2525 or send your part list and we'll quote it.
What materials and profiles can Comet's tube laser cut? +
We cut round tube & pipe, square & rectangular hss, angle & channel, mild steel, stainless & more — round tube and pipe, square and rectangular HSS, angle and channel in mild steel, stainless and more.
How does tube laser cutting save time and money? +
Every hole, slot, cope and bevel is cut in one operation, so parts fit the first time with far less hand layout, drilling and grinding. Self-jigging tab-and-slot joints speed fit-up and improve weld consistency, and optimized nesting reduces material waste.
Can Comet weld and assemble the parts too, or just cut them? +
Both. You can pick up finished, repeatable weld-ready parts, or have our CWB-certified shop weld and assemble the complete frame, trailer or structure. We handle design through final fabrication under one roof.
Do I need a CAD model to get parts cut? +
No. We'll work from a CAD model, drawings, or even a sample part — and can help engineer the design if you don't have one ready.
Have a Frame, Trailer or
Structure to Build?
Send us the part list. We'll cut it tight, weld it true, and help you get it out the door faster.
